Fighting For two KingsDanish volunteers in the DeFence oF hong Kong 1941

Trade Paper: 978-988-8552-56-6Category:HISTORY / Asia / ChinaPrice:US$28.99/HK$230/RMB 200

There were just a handful of Danish people in Hong Kong when the Japanese attacked in December 1941, and they had to decide—would they fight? The Danish consul in Shanghai forbade them to swear allegiance to the British Crown but they ignored him. They fought, and some died for the British King and for Hong Kong. The rest were confined in prisoner-of-war camps or shipped to work in coal mines in Japan. This is the story of those Danes and their families in the British colony on the coast of China, told with heartbreaking detail from letters and interviews with the survivors. It is a story which transcends nationalities and eras, one of heroism and tragedy, cruelty and courage.

“A moving, valuable and skilfully researched account of the role played in the defence of Hong Kong by the British colony’s small, tightly-knit Danish community. Letters and diaries reveal the courage and conflicting loyalties of those prepared to sacrifice everything to resist the Japanese invaders.”

— Tim Luard, Author of Escape from Hong Kong: Admiral Chan Chak’s Christmas Day Dash, 1941

Laurie Dennis

the lacquereD talismana novel oF 14th-century china

Trade Paper: 978-988-8552-46-7Category:FICTION / HistoricalPrice:US$23.99/HK$200/RMB 200

A sweeping coming-of-age epic, The Lacquered Talisman launches the story of one of the most influential figures in Chinese history. He is the son of a beancurd seller and he will found the Ming Dynasty, which ruled China from 1368-1644.

Known as “Fortune” as a boy, Zhu Yuanzhang is part of a large and doting family who shepherd him through hardship until drought and plague ravage the countryside. Left with nothing but a lacquered necklace from his grandfather, Fortune is deposited in the village temple and is soon wandering the countryside as a begging monk. He encounters pockets of resistance to the ruling Mongol dynasty, studies the stars, and tangles with Taoists as he seeks to understand his destiny. Signs and dreams convince him that he has a special fate. Is he to be the abbot of a monastery? A general? What matters most is that he prove himself to be a filial son.

“Laurie Dennis knows more than anyone else about the founder of the Ming dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang. This fictionalized adventure tale fills out the peasant emperor’s own account of his family’s fortunes and misfortunes, and tells us about daily work, games, customs, and religious practices in 14th Century China. Anyone interested in Asian culture or history will enjoy and learn from Dennis’s lively and well-informed story-telling.”

— Sarah Schneewind, Professor of History at UC, San Diego, and author of A Tale of Two Melons: Emperor and Subject in Ming China

chinese Brothers, american sonsan historical novel


Tens of thousands of men from southern China changed the course of American history with their tireless work in the California gold fields in the 1850s and their crucial contribution in the building of the first Transcontinental Railroad in the following decade. Chinese Brothers, American Sons tells the little-known story of these brave adventurers through the eyes of two brothers, Li Chang and Li Yu, who arrive in San Francisco in 1854 in search of the Gold Mountain. Their hope is to make some money to take back to China, but they also encounter violence and discrimination and, yes, American food. This apocryphal tale celebrates and illuminates the struggles and achievements of a largely-ignored group in the rich history of the United States of America - the Cantonese men who conquered the toughest part of the construction of the Transcontinental Railroad - the tunnels through the granite of the Sierra Nevada Mountains.

“Through the lives of two Chinese brothers, Ed Shew’s compelling novel chronicles and artfully draws us in to an oppressive and little recognized chapter in America’s development. Shew weaves two themes together: (1) the extraordinary feat of creating the world’s first transcontinental railroad, and (2) the white man’s policies and practices that manifest terrible cruelty to, and disdain for, the thousands of Chinese immigrants who built its western portion. At least 1,200 Chinese perished in its construction.”

— Peter T. Wilson, EdD, retired Senior Partner with Educational Equity Consultants (EEC), specializing in leadership development and organizational

change with a strong commitment to anti-racism and educational equity.

Northern China in 1900. The nation is in turmoil, the failing Manchu dynasty struggles to survive in the face of social disintegration and foreign encroachments, and from the countryside comes a response: the brutal, quasi-religious movement known as the Boxers, who seek to rid the country of foreign influence. An American missionary couple In a remote town are killed, and their son Wayland is left barely clinging to life. Rescued by kindly Chinese passers-by, Wayland begins his recovery in the still-simmering city of Tianjin, and he finds his new Chinese family has dark secrets of their own. He is thrust into the middle of a deadly dispute between two martial arts masters, and his own fate will hinge on the outcome. Wayland must navigate between two worlds, and to do so, arms himself with the powerful secrets of Chinese martial arts.

Dragons and Boxers combines the best of Martial Arts writing with exquisite historical story-telling.

“Genuine sword fighting experience is something few writers have, but fortunately for the reader, Fiske does. Throughout the story, Fiske brings his years of training in Chinese martial arts and full contact swordplay to the page, lending the training and fight scenes a realism only a student of the arts can conjure up.”

— Scott M. Rodell, Author of “Chinese Swordsmanship - The Yang Family Taiji Jian Tradition,”

“Fundamentals of the Wudang Sword Method,” “Ming Chinese Military Swordsmanship,” and other titles.

Ruth Day

shanghai: 1935an american laDy’s account oF the city anD its high-society


American socialite Ruth Day visited Shanghai for several weeks in 1935 and left one of the most sparkling descriptions of the city in this book, published in a limited edition the following year and only brought to the wider world in this new edition published more than 80 years later. Ruth was the step-daughter of a prominent American financial expert who held a senior post in the Chinese government, and during her whirlwind trip, she met with absolutely everyone who was anyone, and went everywhere the high-society crowd frequented - dancehalls and night-clubs, parties and the best private homes. She describes it all with a rare flair, leaving us with a valuable and unique record of Shanghai high society and the panorama of human experience in the city during its decadent heyday. This is truly a lost classic brought back to life.

“Every time I read through Shanghai 1935, I get a deeper appreciation of what a gem of a book this is.”

— Andrew Field, author of Shanghai’s Dancing World

Hiking in China is the experience of a lifetime, and a must for the traveler who wants to take the road less traveled and interface with a country that is safe and a culture with a richness that no other can match. Hiking in China explains the history of hiking in China, and introduces some of the more colorful characters associated with perambulation in the Middle Kingdom. Then comes the practical information on traveling in the country, what to carry, how to interact with Chinese people and culture, plus the unique aspects of hiking in this vast and fascinating country. The third part of the book focuses on the specific hikes, designed so that you can find hikes wherever you will be in China, with special attention being given to the history behind the trails and places traversed.

Les Bird

Les Bird joined the Hong Kong Marine Police in 1976 and witnessed the last years of the hard-working, hard-drinking colonial policemen handing out rough justice. He led his men in combat with the growing organized crime in the years leading up to the handover back to China in 1997 and was one of a handful of senior officers instrumental in dealing with sensitive issues including a flood of refugees fleeing Vietnam and the increase in the smuggling to and from Communist China. Filled with gripping stories spanning 20 years, A Small Band of Men follows Bird and his cohorts on adventures that provide a fascinating insight into the intersection of cultures that is Hong Kong.

Isabella Bird

A loving reproduction of the photograph collection first published by the intrepid traveller Isabella Bird in 1900. The images were all taken by Isabella on her long travels in China in the late 1890s, and provide a unique record of different aspects of China in that era, just before the Boxer Rebellion and its aftermath unleashed far-reaching changes.

Edited & introduced by Frances Wood

aeneas anDerson in chinaA narrative of the ill-fated Macartney Embassy 1792-94

Lord Macartney’s mission to open up China in 1792 failed, but it did give the Western world its first glimpse of the secretive Middle Kingdom, through the memoirs written by eight different members of the embassy. But the most lively and accessible of the books was that written by Aeneas Anderson, Lord Macartney’s valet. China scholar Frances Wood introduces Anderson’s account of the two-year adventure, which make clear that the valet was seeing far more of China than his master was. His descriptions of life in China and Manchuria in the late 18th century are a hugely valuable and very readable resource, and Frances Wood is as inciteful as always.

Margaret Sun

This is a unique memoir of modern China, a story of courage, despair and hope. Margaret Sun was born in Shanghai in 1935 but English was her main language almost from birth. In 1956, she went to work in Xinjiang, and from there witnessed the changes from the communist takeover in 1949 through to today, with English running through her head. She tells of how she sold cigarettes in Old Shanghai, of the bitter life in the most isolated parts of China, of the Cultural Revolution, and then the shift towards normalcy at the end of the 1970s. Her story is an evocative and highly-readable account of how the huge events in China’s modern history impacted on ordinary people.

Daisy Kwok’s life spanned old Shanghai and modern Shanghai, old China and “New” China in a way that no other did. This book presents stories written by her of her life from the high-flying early years and the desperate drama of the political campaigns in the 1950s and 1960s. Through it all shines Daisy’s effervescent personality. Daisy Kwok was born in Australia in 1908 and her family moved to Shanghai in 1918. Her father founded the Wing On Department Store and Daisy lived the life of the rich for decades. Then came the communist takeover in 1949, and unlike many others, Daisy stayed on, and was denounced as a capitalist before being rehabilitated in the late 1970s. She died in Shanghai in 1998.

Chris Emmett

hong Kong police insiDe the lines

Hong Kong—a Chinese city with British-based law, a unique place with a unique police force. In his latest book, Chris Emmett, best-selling author of “Hong Kong Policeman,” puts you on the streets, alongside the Hong Kong police officers who were there during the greatest crises of the past few decades.

In the 1960s, China’s Cultural Revolution came to Hong Kong and in one crazy summer, ten Hong Kong police officers lost their lives, five of them to a machinegun attack at the border village of Sha Tau Kok.

In the 1970s, police stood in the front line as tens of thousands of Vietnamese streamed into Hong Kong, some were fleeing oppression and some after a better life. But hiding among them were violent criminals.

Daniel Reid

shots From the hip

Shots From the Hip is the memoir of Daniel Reid, a world-renowned expert on consciousness, holistic medicine and living life to the full. It recounts a life lived footloose and free, unbound by convention and driven by a quest for new experiences on roads less traveled. From the sex, drugs and rock & roll scene of Late Sixties America to the opium dens, bars and bordellos of far-flung Asian outposts, the author recounts his outlandish escapades in a rollicking narrative told with flair and candor.

But that’s just the tip of the iceberg. Shots From the Hip is also an in-depth commentary on life itself, and a deliberation on death drawn from the author’s own close encounters.

Maurine Karns & Pat Patterson

By Maurine Karns & Pat Patterson

Tael Lights, first published in 1936, is a guidebook to the seamier side of Shanghai in the mid-1930s, when it was at its most outrageous. The authors, two pretty dissolute foreigners living life to the fullest and working at least partially in a Whangpoo whiskey haze, stress the nightlife, particularly the sex and sin side of the city. Political correctness hardly enters into it.

I Sailed with Chinese Pirates

It is 1930 and piracy is rampant on the South China seas. Murderous bands of cutthroats roam the Pearl River Delta and coastal shipping routes, an ever-present menace to the trade of Hong Kong and beyond. Globetrotting journalist Aleko E. Lilius sets out to infiltrate these mysterious pirate gangs, and eats, sleeps and of course sails with them, delivering a sensational, rollicking tale of adventure.

Aleko E. Lilius

Adam Williamsauthor of

The Dragon’s Tail

“Yo ho ho and a bottle of maotai! Lilius’s forgotten classic reads as boldly and bloodily as a Chinese ‘Treasure Island’. What is perhaps most remarkable about this extraordinary piece of journalism is that the writer lived to tell the tale.”
